I had the distinct pleasure of grabbing a cup of coffee with Mark Rowe of Hoffman Rowe this evening. (The coffee was Organic Guatemalan, if you are wondering, though I haven’t a clue whether it was Fair Trade Certified.) We chatted for quite a while, bounced a few ideas around, and shared our views of where we think corporate social responsibility currently sits and where it is headed.

Of note, Mark floated the observation that “corporate social responsibility” is a bit off and that “corporate responsibility” is less limiting. An interesting viewpoint indeed, and I look forward to talking with him further about the pros and cons of each.

If you haven’t heard of Hoffman Rowe before, be sure to visit their website. The firm is based in the Boston-area and offers a full slate of ethics and compliance consulting services.
